What you would you do if a democrat you elected to représente you in congress in your district voted against abortion or gay rights? You’d be obviously pissed. Pissed enough to vote them out of office. Which is why the republicans aren’t going to go against their base because then the republicans wouldn’t exist.

Such a person would never get elected

After being lectured the last year for being dismissive of workers in dying industries it’s a delight to see that was theater. The effect on others has also been explained to you enough times that at this point your argument boils down to “la la la I can’t hear you.”Lol no, you don’t get to add to the problem and then claim innocence. Dems don’t want to end their petty pissing contest with the man so they accept part of the blame. Man the fuck up and take responsibility.
They are. The responsible adult response to a kid throwing a fit in the toy aisle is to say no and confirm this is not the way you ask for things.
It is most certainly how things worked, that’s politics. Never interrupt your opponent when he’s about to make a mistake.

No, we're pretty innocent in that regard.
Oh ffs! Listen carefully - Securing. Our. Borders. Is. Not. Racism!
Sure about as innocent as someone adding fuel to a fire.

That’s exactly what’s happening. Letting him make this mistake.

Yes, but it’s not the end of the world. It mostly affects the federal workers who I can really care less about considering that a many of them are non essential and are under worked but overpaid. And shutdowns have never had a significant impact on the economy and any minor impact that it would have is expected to revert back to normal after the shutdown is over.
Others like who? Businesses really do not have to rely on federal workers. Land lords for example won’t suffer, as they can just find other tenants that will pay rent. In fact it is private businesses like Whole Foods that are volunteering their time and resources to help make sure that federal workers are fed. And as for the FDA? Private companies would’ve just continued to go much further than government regulations on food inspection like they always have, and FDA workers have returned to work again anyways. As for farms not being able to produce goods? That’s a lie. Most farms don’t get subsidies anyways and yet there is no food shortage going on. And even if the TSA continues not to work, private contractors will just pick up on where they left and do a better job, so calm the fuck down.
I’d really wish we’d put just as much energy worrying about our national debt.
A responsible adult doesn’t let 50 dollars burn away just so their kid doesn’t get a two dollar toy.
